Hi, which brand sdhc cards and which class(4,6,or 10) work best with this camcorder?

go for 10. It reduces the chance of missed frames and will transfer faster to your computer

I use a 16GB class 10 card in my XP200, but not sure if its overkill for my typical useage as I very rarely record video. If you're into video its probably a good investment. The class 10 likely helps save single pix faster too though.

I read some comments on dpreview.com of a guy who tested the Pentax k-7 with two different class 4 SDHC cards and one worked well (SanDisk Ultra II) while the other didn't (PNY). You can see the site below for more details. I would think a class 6 would work fine. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1036&message;=33814313

I like Sandisk as well, however I bought a Sandisk 32 GB class-10 card for this camera and it errors all the time so I don't use it. The 16 GB card (unknown class) that comes with the camera works well and I don't plan to buy another one unless this one dies.

The one we received with the camera was a Sony brand, high speed, with full HD recording capabilities and yes, a 10. Good card.

You have to look at the speed level on the card. Sometimes it makes a difference in performance. I always choose fastest available. On the SDHC cards the fastest acting card is a Class 6. Regular SD cards use so many different speed types its crazy-- example 40X to over 100X. As far as brand, I would imagine most work with this machine. I use a cheap brand SDHC with my Panasonic camera.

I have been using a Sandisk 4GB SDHC (class 2 speed), and a Sandisk 8GB SDHC Extreme III (class 6 speed) with this camera and both seem to work fine. I've noticed that some retailers claim in their "specifications" sections that this camera can only use cards up to 2GB (not SDHC), but I haven't found this to be the case. I'm not sure if I'll actually be able to get the full 4-8GB storage capacity out of my cards, but compatibility hasn't been a problem. Hope this info helps.

Yes it does: I bought for mine an 8GB Class 6 SDHC (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ECQVSS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and it works like a charm! ***Make sure you get Class 6 or higher speed to take full advantage of the HC... Greetings from Costa Rica!

You can buy the standard SDHC card for this camera, but if you will be taking a lot of videos, you may want to buy a class 10 SDHC card. Alos watch for the read write capability. I bought a 16GB class 10 for mine.

I wouldn't recommend using a micro SD for your camera. You're better off buying a regular SD card with 32 to 64 GB. Class 10 basically means when you are taking burst shots or shooting HD video you won't get any lag.

This camera uses SD memory cards. For best results, you should probably use HCSD Class 10 cards, but any SD card should work.

Class 6 micro sd card will work, a class 10 is too fast for it skips frames and class 4 has a few issues with being recognized fully. Class 6 cards are the best way to go

the card that is in mine has written on it"SanDisk HC, 4GB" sorry I don't know much about these cameras but I hope this helped you.

You'll want to get at least a 16 or 32 GB Fast transfer speed MicroSDHC Memory Card. The fast transfer is important so you don't waste time downloading pictures and videos to your computer, so stay away from Class 4 cards unless you enjoy twiddling your thumbs. Class 10 is the way to go. If you plan on many videos the 32 GB card is best. Memory cards are inexpensive these days; a reputable card by SanDisk (SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A) is only $24.12 at amazon. I used to spend that much on developing just one roll of film in the old cameras.

the book says use a 10 or 4 class card for hd video recording so guess use that for all photos

Any Class 10 SD Card will work. You can use SD, SDHC, SDXC. I would stick with a name brand since you will probably be using this for paid gigs and reliability is more important than price.

I purchased a 32GB G-Skill Class 10 Micro SD Card for mine. This worked well and provides a good 4 hours of 1080p video.
